* Tested using a flow rate of 0.50 gpm; pressure of 60 psig; pH of 7.5 ± 0.5; temp. of 68° ± 5°F (20° ± 3°C)
** Measurement in Particles/ml. Particles used were 0.5-1 microns
*** NTU=Nephelometric Turbidity units

Capacity: certified for up to 300 gallons (1135 l); up to six 

months for models without a replacement filter indicator light; 

up to one year for models with a replacement filter indicator light

Pressure requirement: 40–120 psi (2.8–8.2 bar), non-shock

Temperature: 33–100ºF (0.6–38ºC)

Flow rate: 0.5 gpm (1.9 lpm)

Flush new cartridge at full flow for 3 minutes to purge out 

trapped air.

Replace cartridge when the indicator light flashes or water 

flow rate is reduced on non-indicator units.

Installation instructions, parts and service availability, and standard 

warranty are included with the product when shipped.

This drinking water system must be maintained according to 

manufacturer’s instructions, including replacement of filter cartridges.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown 

quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. 

Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected water 

that may contain filterable cysts.

The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this 

water treatment system are not necessarily in your water.

Check for compliance with the state and local laws and regulations.

Note that while the testing was performed under standard laboratory 

conditions, actual performance may vary. Systems must be installed and 

operated in accordance with manufacturer’s recommended procedures 

and guidelines.
